It’ll be interesting to see whether china will let germany pursue their objective of having their cake and eating it too

Third, even in changed circumstances, China remains an important business and trading partner for Germany and Europe — we don’t want to decouple from it. But what does China want?

China’s “dual circulation” economic strategy is designed to strengthen the domestic market and reduce dependencies on other countries. In a speech in late 2020, President Xi Jinping also spoke of utilizing Chinese technologies to “tighten international production chains’ dependence on China.” We take statements such as this seriously, and will, therefore, dismantle one-sided dependencies in the interest of smart diversification, which requires prudence and pragmatism.

We are aware that we are in competition when it comes to climate-friendly technologies too — for the most efficient products, the smartest ideas, the most successful implementation of our plans. However, this requires China not closing its market to our climate-friendly technologies

We are far — too far — from reciprocity in relations between China and Germany, whether in regard to market access for businesses, to licenses, to the protection of intellectual property or issues of legal certainty and equal treatment for our nationals.

Oh stop it, you're making me blush.
For someone to be able to come out and say that is a big deal. Once someone voices such thoughts more will come out of the woodwork. At this rate soon Scholz will call up Xi and go "hey, did you know Marx was German?"

I watched an video with an interesting theory about all the recent moves by Scholz, the central idea being Germany is one of those country capable of suddenly jumping ship and come to the side of Community of Common Destiny. The reasoning was simple, beside Marx you know who else Germany produced that was really revolutionary? Martin Luther. If Germans can go through a fundamental pivot like Reformation then it stands to reason they are also capable of such radical pivots in the future.

Would be nice, yes, but then it has to be a revolution from the elites, (Revolution von oben), since the commen folk are a bunch of morons, especially the youth. And the elites are controlled by CIA, so even if Scholz does try to do a power move, the moment langley gets to notice the true degree of his treachery he will get disposed of, one way or another.

Just read (skimmed through the article) and wasn't particularly impressed or surprised to learn any new revelation that was not known to most people observing American-security-intelligence-defense-military industrial complex obsession on maintaining their grip/hegemony to the regions which means frankly the world.

My read on the article was just a laundry list of making Iran the permanent bogeyman as the prime and sole middle eastern existential threat not just for the U.S. and Israel but also to the existence of many Arab Gulf states that are becoming weary (supposedly) of Iran's increasing military sophistication and "overmatch" against their respective countries which I find hilarious and an indictment of U.S. middle eastern policy as a freaking failure.

How is it that for a country on the sanction list for over forty years resulting weak economic growth, costing the Iranian government more attention to quelling domestic malcontents from many political enemies, some of which are ardent supporter of the Shah and other groups. While countries like the K.S.A. has been able to benefit from the revenues it made from oil gaining the ability to procure massive U.S. military armaments plus the security assistance of the mighty U.S. military yet miraculously the country is even weaker against IRAN?

Like every geopolitical article that's produced by every western or American led publications it would always be prefaced and laced with commentaries from the supposed Supreme experts a.k.a. the Merchants of Death a.k.a. military retired prostitutes like the one profiled on this article, a recently retired 4 star General officer fresh off his duty as the commandant of Central Command.

Overall, the authors thesis and arguments are to prevent Iran from being allowed to reopen the JCPOA, to sow the seed and conspiracy that China's intention in the middle east isn't just about win win cooperation but to supplant America as the Mafia boss of the Middle East therefore America and it's sheeps a.k.a. public citizens must endure paying for the increase in defense spending to ensure that Iran doesn't become the King of middle east and China as the new overlord/Emperor of the entire region.

I have no idea what makes this blatant propaganda objective in any way shape or form. After all, the authors are not exactly coming from a place of objectivity. The Hudson Institute? What's the difference between this right wing think tank hack vs the Hoover Institute or the Institute for the Study of War headed by war whore Gen. Jack Keane and co-headed by yet another Kagan.

Scholz wanted to visit China, as a result NS1 and NS2 were blown up. Now that he insists on visiting China, he should be careful.

If he says something out of line, next month you will have a "Breaking News: Anonymous tapes show Scholz doing/saying something truly scandalous"

I sense that Scholz's tone started to change after the pipelines got bombed. I do think he was up to something prior to the bombing which triggered it, but my guess would be he was in secret negotiation with Russia and not China.

Although German media don't talk about who did it, I think anyone with a few brain cell can figure out that it's not Russia as long as they've heard of a magical device called a "gas valve", and who stands to gain the most from destroying the pipelines. The German elite no doubt feel betrayed and angry, after all there are lots of German money invested into the project too.

It may have been the final wake up call needed to make then realize that if things continue US will bleed them dry.
